2020-08-24: Reds (Bauer) at Brewers (Anderson) [Brewers win, 4-2 -- Offense tallies 7 hits and 4 runs off Bauer]

[brewerfan82]

The Red Sox didn't make the playoffs last year.

True.

True for this year/last, but they may still have a word regarding 2013/14:

 

[homer]

teams don't typically go from crap to contender in one season.

The reverse is usually true as well.

The Red Sox would like to have a word.

 

Are the Nats crap?

[homer]

I think Omar is comin'.

 

[Eye Black]

Are the Nats crap?

I think so, but then again they started last year 19-31 and won it all, so maybe it’s just their thing.

[MrTPlush]

Gotta tell you ... watching this Reds team play like a dumpster fire is oddly satisfying after all the "OMG the Reds are gonna be contenders" talk from last winter.

 

The Reds may be moving in the right direction, but that team was a train wreck last year, and teams don't typically go from crap to contender in one season.

 

It would be satisfying if we weren’t matching their dumpster fire play so far to date.

[LouisEly]

Are the Nats crap?

I don't give a gnat's crap.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Man Suarez is good. That wasn't a bad pitch.

[MrTPlush]

Honestly Anderson should have never started that inning.

[markedman5]

Can’t believe he bit that out

[timpep]

I hope we get to see Hader today.

[homer]

Since 1980, 10 teams have won the world series and finished below .500 the next year. I don't know if that's technically crap, or gnat's crap, but here it is:

So it doesn't happen all that often.

[markedman5]

Honestly Anderson should have never started that inning.

It was fine....low pitch count and he was pitching great.

 

Now Williams and Hader got to hold the lead

[pacopete4]

I hope we get to see Hader today.

 

Better hope we have a 3 run or less lead in the 9th inning and only that inning.

[Devinep]

I hope we get to see Hader today.

VI think he needs the day off to rest from overuse this year

[MrTPlush]

Honestly Anderson should have never started that inning.

It was fine....low pitch count and he was pitching great.

 

Now Williams and Hader got to hold the lead

 

He gave up a homer in the 6th and some other fairly loud outs all to the outfield. He certainly wasn’t pitching all the great in the 6th. It’s Brett Anderson, not Woodruff...pitch count shouldn’t be a huge factor for a reason to just send him out.

 

I don’t have a huge problem sending him out there, especially since they had a quick hook...but we really can’t be losing this game after a pitiful Pirates series.

[homer]

Williams is kind of a joke.

[markedman5]

Man that’s filthy

[Eye Black]

Devin Williams is fun to watch pitch. The level of confidence he has seemingly gained after just 20 some innings pitched in the majors is great.

[Eye Black]

Trevor Bauer has thrown 127 pitches in a game each of the past two seasons. I didn’t know pitchers were still allowed to throw that many (one of those was only a 6.2 IP appearance).

[TURBO]

Arcia constantly messes with guys from the other team when he is on the bases. He just knocked the ball from Suarez's glove...lol Then took a jab to the head back, assuming they are just messing with each other.

 

he does stuff like this a lot. I like it.

[MrTPlush]

What a terrible throw. A decent one and Arcia would have been out by so much he may have been able to get into a rundown because he wouldn’t have slid yet.

[homer]

More people should name their kids Tejay

[adambr2]

Gotta do better than that Hiura. Those are big insurance runs.

[markedman5]

Man that’s an opportunity wasted

[yourout]

Sure seems like there's been a lot of low strikes called this year that were not strikes in previous years
